My 70L Juwel Tank

[Jay1983]

Hi Have recently re-done my 70L tank. I am using sand as the substrate and have a Fluval 105 external filter. (will soon have a 205 going spare so may use the 205 soon?) the Tank contains 16 cardinal Tetra'd and 6 peppered Corys. Here are some pictures.. any advice on how to improve the tank would be greatly appreciated.

I like it the way it is, i find the more you mess around with a tank the worse it can look. Simples is good Will look nice when the plants mature more.

Thank you... I am new to them but so far so good brilliant colours!

Thank you...I was going to add some floating plants to try create some cover as it seems Cardinals don't like it to bright! so apart from that I will leave it as it is. Cheers

If it were me I'd split the Cryptocoryne's up a little and add more to the foreground.

Hi and thanks...I'm not good with plants which one do you mean? sorry. What would you add to the foreground as a suggestion?

The bottom midground plant on the left, I believe it is Cryptocoryne wendtii tropica, you could try adding more Cryptocoryne wendtii varieties such as green, brown, miyoya in the foreground in front of the stems to create a transition in height.

Thank you for that, that's certainly something to consider!
